Nights Like this I've Become Afraid of the Darkness in my Heart

It's been a while since I've blogged home. And it's a shame, I love it. Hell, it's hard for me to blog as it is, but I do try when I get the time to do so every now and then, and I actually do love this, I've always enjoyed serene dark spaces that make me feel at home. I think how this room was pulled together is very me, dark, yet comfortable, and with books. I do love me some books. 

I'm going to keep it short and sweet because I'm falling asleep, but have you seen the new stuff by Trompe? For Fameshed? It's freaking amazing. The materials in it really make it pop and come to life when you kick in your ultra settings, and the fountain.. urgh, so perfect, flows water, and it just feels so high class and relaxing. Over all, Cory did an amazing job with this set, and it comes in naughty naughty adult version too for those of us that are a little extra.. not nice. 

I paired it off with an old set from Cheeky Pea that I actually love, and used the home from the October round of Collab from Trompe as well, since it's one of my favorite houses, the texturing and materials together really give it a some what peaceful creepy feeling, if you know what I mean.

I tied it off with some lighting, one from the Arcade from Trompe, and another one is the candelabra from Floorplan that I absolutely love. Tegan never fails to amazing me with her lovely talent. The blinds are by LISP Bazaar, and I consider them a most at any house to really pull it together. They're very low impact, and linking them together will even lower the LI a lot more! Allowing you to give an air of reality to any home. And the rug? Well, that's my all time favorite rug by Lame Furniture. So.. that's about all for this quicky home blog. Hope you enjoyed!

My Favorite Places

So just like every Monday.. Berry posted her challenge up, and today it's about your favorite places. And I sat for a while. I mean.. my list is pretty boring. I either shop, or stay in a platform forever. So.. I doubted pictures of a white box would have been very interesting, besides, it's not neat AT ALL, so.. that was out of the question. But.. then I thought.. when I'm not working, I actually do stuff... other than shopping.. I roleplay! And I mean, right now there's very few places that I enjoy, all with the drama and lame people, just.. no.. You know? Like.. not even going to be going into it because I don't like to be negative, but.. whatever. There's one place in the grid however, that always has me going back to it, and that's Mischief Managed. I've talked about it a lot of times, but.. it's picturesque, and it has awesome RP stuff going on, so.. of course I would love it. Further more, there's also a new sim around the grid for Game of Thrones RP that an old friend of mine that I met in Mischief Managed brought me too, and I've been having a lot of fun there too! So.. I guess my two favorite places in the grind are.. Mischief Managed, and Crownlands! 

I also wanted to take a couple moments right now to speak about a couple new releases. One.. Umm.. Can we please talk about the new uniforms that Damien Fate released for his Fateplay line? It has kid mesh sizes. You know.. they fit child av's, without toddleedoo, and not only that.. they're actually well made, and mesh. I think the whole Hogwarts community in SL wept in joy when this was released. 

Now.. shifting. ARCADE! Arcade is upon us, and I've been lucky enough to get a couple previews, and some more that i'll share in a blog post later this week. But.. well, if you're like me, you're awaiting for the Arcade to open up while jumping up and down your chair. No, really, is okay, this release is sooo exciting. For once.. the cute adorable chipmunks of MishMish.. I mean.. words can't even describe how adorable they are! And then you have the release of Lark. Lark is new this round in the Arcade, and I couldn't be happier to see them in this line up! Like.. It's uber exciting because Sienia is an amazing talented designer that works extremely hard and her creativity is just.. extraordinary. I think the release she made for the Arcade just shows us a glimpse of not only her talent, but that amazing creativity that she possesses that sets her apart from every designer out there. Her books and bookcase are really cleverly done, and the texturing is some of the best that I've seen in the gird in those books, and I'm not even exaggerating. I love these. So.. make sure to keep an out for her, and visit her store for other amazing stuff! Meanwhile, sit with me and glare at your pc, until it's time for you to get into the Arcade!

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

So.. normally, I would do a big picture, and talk.. but this one is tricky, hang in there! So.. first of all, Arcade today! Yay! So, I have sneaked in a couple more hidden gems you can find in there.. just remember.. Fezzes are cool. Basically I couldn't get to the picture I wanted to do, so I made it for today! Yay! Then.. we have a The Challenge starting today. So.. what is the Challenge?

Mamma, I'm Coming Home

I've never done a backshot, so.. why the hell not? These leggings are so cute in the back that I just had to do them. Thanks for them, Jim, you did an amazing job at them! Totally love them! And in all honesty, I completely made the whole outfit around these leggings.

So.. today's mother's day, and even though out of personal reasons I don't celebrate it, I still decided to do something in mind with it.. and well, the only thing that came to mind was Ozzy's 'Mamma, I'm coming home'. Also.. the pose using today is from Hopscotch, and only available at a discount today.. DON'T MISS OUT! In all honesty, I'm getting rather lame with these descriptions, and rants.. so.. without further ado, enjoy the credits!

Sunday Mornings

Sunday mornings are for staying home, and lazy'ing around before heading out to Lazy Sunday and filling up your inventory with more stuff. Hooray!

So what better way to lazy around than with a nice pair of comfortable boots, and some comfortable loose t shirt that has been piling dust in your inventory forever?

[whatever] Has some really cute boots on sale at FI* FRIDAY and they're only 55L for each, and they come in a couple different colors. I'm a sucker for the color black.. so that's the one I got.
